Laptops for faculty and staff
One week into Language schools and we are out. There is a pile of Dell laptops only (no cases or accessories) on the top shelf of the cabinet. These can go out the same way as the others, along with a power adapter (also on the top shelf). Once those go, encourage people to book online.

Faculty/Staff Laptops for the summer
We already have summer faculty asking to take laptops out for the entire summer. The answer is no. We can provide them for two weeks. When we run out, there is a small reserve of laptops we can dip into, but at that point we should encourage patrons to book (or offer to book for them) laptops when they are returned. The Helpdesk also does not have any available to lend out, so we have been asked not to send patrons to them. Please direct all resistant patrons to Dan.
How to find foreign language CDs
1. Go to go/subsplus
2. Select the appropriate language from the pulldown subject menu
3. On the right-hand side of the page, under “Tips”, there will be a link to “List of ______ CDs” which will take you to a list in MIDCAT.
Reminders for the summer
Reminders for the summer:
• All Summer students, faculty, and staff, have printing privileges just like the AY – login and release. Quotas are in effect.
o Breadloaf INLCUDED
o LS families are NOT included
• Patrons will need to activate their MIDD username and password. Please direct them to the Helpdesk or go/activate.
• IDs are required, just like during the AY. Breadloaf patrons have IDs with their name and ID # on them, but they may not swipe. If that is the case, just type in the ID #.
• Davison (Breadloaf) books brought into the Davis Family Library will probably set off the alarm as there is no desensitizer at Breadloaf. If this happens, just desensitize them.
• Licensed software is not available to Summer patrons (i.e. Microsoft Office)
• Items listed as “Available” in the catalog are requestable during the summer. We should be running paging slips every morning and placing these items on the hold shelf.
• Carrels and lockers are available and have a fixed due date of 8/12. This date should not be altered. There is no carrel agreement to sign during the summer.
• The Breadloaf courier will come to get the bin (which will live on the desk between Kim and Janine) mornings and afternoons M-F and mornings on Sat and Sun. They will call from the loading dock.

Microsoft Office for the Summer
A reminder that summer patrons are NOT covered by our licensing agreement with Microsoft, so Office is NOT available for the summer.
